EP 14
Outside the door, Yuxi standing there
Lin Yuxi
Why does he get that?
Lin Yuxi
Why do I feel like I am the one being left behind?
Lin Yuxi
I am your biological brother...he is just a rat who crawled in between us
Next morning, as usual Jinyuan made breakfast acting like nothing happened
Lin Jinyuan
Did you sleep well?
*smiles*
Lin Jinyuan
I made the porridge you like
Lin Yuxi
You remembered..
*quiet, not looking up*
Lin Jinyuan
Of course, I did
*smiles softly*
Lin Yuxi
*stares at the food*
Lin Yuxi
But I guess it's Zhenyu who needs it more
Lin Jinyuan
what?
*confused*
Lin Yuxi
*lifts his head up staring Jinyuan with blank expression*
Lin Yuxi
Don’t worry. I’ll try not to get in the way next time.
Lin Yuxi
*stands up and leaves*
Lin Jinyuan
Ah-Xi, you didn't even touch your food
*confused*
He sits on the edge of his bed, perfect posture, cold expression but his hands won’t stop fidgeting.
He keeps hearing it in his head:
“You matter to me.”
“No one else does.”
“I care.”
Lin Yuxi
When did he start mattering more than me? Why him? Why now?
*whispers to himself*
Inside-
A small, carefully folded note Jinyuan left for him once.
Maybe something simple:
“Good luck on the test. I believe in you.”
Untouched. Unwrinkled. Like a treasure
Lin Yuxi
He is my Ge, so why he...
Lin Yuxi
*closes the drawer*
Lin Jinyuan
Ah-Xi it's me...
Jinyuan steps in—slowly. Carefully.
He sees Yuxi on the floor.
Lin Jinyuan
*kneels in front of him, brows furrowed*
Lin Jinyuan
You didn't eat
Lin Jinyuan
Are you upset about something?
*speaks softly*
Lin Yuxi
*eyes glossy, jaw clenched*
Lin Yuxi
Everytime something is wrong you run to him
Lin Jinyuan
Yuxi...
*stunned*
Lin Yuxi
Did you forget about me?
Lin Jinyuan
No. No. Of course not. I could never-
Lin Yuxi
Then why is it like I am not enough anymore?
Lin Yuxi
Why does it feel like… I’m just standing in the background while you hold him together?
